At the tender age of 27, Merit became a sword-wielding vampire. Since then, she’s become the protector of her House, watched Chicago nearly burn to the ground, and seen her Master fall and rise. Now she’ll see her mettle—and her metal—tested like never before.
It started with two . . . Two rogues vanishing without a trace. Someone is targeting Chicago’s vampires, and anyone could be next. With their house in peril, Merit and her Master, the centuries old Ethan Sullivan, must race to stop the disappearances. But as they untangle a web of secret alliances and ancient evils, they realize their foe is more familiar, and more powerful, than they could have ever imagined.

Description of Book:<br />
<br />
Christopher is a twelve-year-old boy who has always had a fascination with Native American Indian Culture. His obsession haunts him with visions and dreams of the past, A sudden freak accident takes him on a Vision Quest, an unbelievable journey back in time where he discovers he was once an Indian named Yuma, Christopher as Yuma learns about the Native American concept of The Circle, and how all living things are connected, Yuma is also becoming a man, torn between his responsibility as a tribe leader and his passion as a healer, His special gift of visions leads him into an encounter with strangers and forbidden love with a woman named Rose. But when he foresees an attack on his village and images of Rose falling to her death, Yuma must find the courage to save his people and the woman he loves.<br />
<br />
My Review:<br />
<br />
I first thought it was a book about a 12 yr old interested in Indian's which is really cute by after sitting down and really reading the book it came to me that this is a story of how life really is a circle and repeats itself over and over if we are not watching. The story of Yuma and Rose is such a wonderful and endering story and once I was deep into the book I could not put it down and wanted to know how it was going to end. I believe so much in fact that what we take from the earth we should give back and by taking to much we destroy the earth little by little and if we are not careful we are not going to have much to give back. It is a story of love, openness to the earth and what it tells us & friendship that can repeat itself over and over.<br />

<br><br>From Goodreads:<br>Solomon is broken. Well, that is what her ex-husband told her numerous times after discovering she could not conceive. After catching her husband in bed with another woman, she returns to her hometown, Rock Hill, SC, and starts her life over as a medical biller hell bent to remain in her safe little bubble, ruled by her Siamese cat, Izzy.<br><br>Everything is smooth sailing in her protective bubble. Solomon is content to cut off her man-dar switch and live a life without worrying about a man breaking her heart...until a mysterious new neighbor moves into the house that has been vacant since her elderly neighbor passed away four years ago. Then a new physician starting at her office has his sights on her.<br><br>Both men know the secret behind Solomon's broken life. Will she be able to handle the news?<br><br>My Review: <br><br>I really got into the book from the first chapter. Soloman is a woman who believes she is not worthy of the love she should have gotten from her previous marriage when infact she is stronger then she knows. When the two men Xavier and Drake come into her life Solomon has to trust in herself that she is worthy of love and being more then just a mere human when she is something more special then she gives herself credit for. I really love this storyline because it brings out all my favorite paranormal genre (shapeshifters,vampires & the fallen). Broken is a story of love, loss & strength and a story that once you start one the 1st page you will not want to put it down. Once I was deep into the story I didn't want it to end and was sad to see these characters leave. I am excited to see more from this wonderful author. <br><br><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13500804.Broken" title="Broken by D.M. McDaniel">Broken</a><br />

<br/>***My Review***<br />
<br/><br />
<br/>DarkSpell...<br />
<br/><br />
<br/>I really liked the Story I have been so wrapped up in BD1 and reading my Twilights to get read for the night I had not been paying much attention to my other Paranormal stories and Darkspell did that for me. I had orginally read the first couple of chapters from the author's website and she generously allowed me to read the book for review. First all one thing I really loved about this book is the drawings in between chapters that gave the book a different feel that the other paranormal books don't have. Two I did read this book as a E-Book however I will be getting it as a paperbook just because of the drawing and also because I want my niece to read it I know she will love it so much. The Story of Winter and Alex is a wonderful innocent story of new love and step's a Winter is willing to take to keep that love. This wasn't even about a physical attraction more of emotional love that is sweet and pure and what falling in love with some should be about. I see Winnie as a strong girl that has lost her father at a young age and is the big sister in the family and instead of teens that can't stand their lil brothers she does get fustrated with them but loves them whole hartedly. This was one of those stories where you want peace and quiet just so you can read it with the drawing and also the wonderful writing of Elizabeth Mueller I could see in mind what is going on in the story and the end story was very good I was pretty suprised by it myself and was "Ok I didn't see that coming!". I don't want to give away any spoilers just because this is a book that you have read for yourself and enjoy Winter and Alex story. I cannot wait to see more stories from this author.<br />

From Goodreads<br/><br/>Ethan Wate thought he was getting used to the strange, impossible events happening in Gatlin, his small Southern town. But now that Ethan and Lena have returned home, strange and impossible have taken on new meanings. Swarms of locusts, record-breaking heat, and devastating storms ravage Gatlin as Ethan and Lena struggle to understand the impact of Lena's Claiming. Even Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals is affected - and their abilities begin to dangerously misfire. As time passes, one question becomes clear: What - or who - will need to be sacrificed to save Gatlin?<br/>For Ethan, the chaos is a frightening but welcome distraction. He's being haunted in his dreams again, but this time it isn't by Lena - and whatever is haunting him is following him out of his dreams and into his everyday life. Even worse, Ethan is gradually losing pieces of himself - forgetting names, phone numbers, even memories. He doesn't know why, and most days he's too afraid to ask. <br/><br/>Sometimes there isn't just one answer or one choice. Sometimes there's no going back. And this time there won't be a happy ending.<br/><br/>My review<br/><br/>I so loved this book!!! I have been waiting and waiting for this book to come out and finally got it and got to read it. Lena and Ethan love is so sweet and even thou it hurts him literlly to touch her Ethan does and when his town is changing and things are not the same the lubbers have destroyed the grass and everything green the heat is so bad nobody is feeling right. The Casters powers are outta wack Olivia is stuck in the tunnels because of what she has done. Marian is in trouble with the Order, Link is learning to be a Linkubus with the help of Macon back from the the dead. Amma has gone dark to where Ethan cannot reach her and Ethan just wants it back to normal when he doesn't even know what normal is anymore. Lena and Ethan have to pull all the people that are important to them to figure out how to save the town and themselfs. Beautiful Chaos is a funny and sad and very worth reading. Kami Garcia has done it again the ending will suprise you cause it suprised me. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10757833.Beautiful_Chaos_Caster_Chronicles_3_"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Yu7ZPXSwL._SL75_.jpg" title="Beautiful Chaos (Caster Chronicles, #3) by Kami Garcia" alt="Beautiful Chaos (Caster Chronicles, #3)"/></a><br />

I got this book as a loan for my Kindle and when I started reading it I could not put it down.<br/> <br/>From Goodreads:<br/>After witnessing the horrific murder that was committed by her fiancé just days before their wedding, Aimee immediately flees from the life she knows. Lost in Greece, Aimee is inevitably and uncontrollably thrust into a supernatural world where she is terrified to learn what she really is. Crouching at every corner lies a new confusing memory that torments her from her previous life, while her feelings of love cease to die, but awaken more deeply for the mysteriously handsome stranger, who wants to rescue her. Battling the man, who she mistakenly still loves is a bigger conquest than imagined, but can she free her captured thoughts from the man who owns her? Facing the ultimate decision, to lose all humanity by becoming the weapon the Rogues desire most, or to destroy the creation of love. Can Aimee make the sacrifices needed to overcome deceit, love and her power that is irrepressibly blood thirsty?<br/><br/>My Review:<br/><br/>Amiee thought she knew everything about her life but while in greece about to get married Amiee see's her fiancee kill her best friend and after that Amiee realizes all is not what it seems and runs away. While Amiee hides from her fiancee and his family in Greece she meets up with Alec while we see Amiee hiding her attraction to him she is also learning that what she was told was not true. With the help of Alec & Iva, Amiee is able to hide from her fiancee and also learns about herself and her real parents and the secret community that Amiee was born into. While Amiee memories start coming back to her she also has to start dealing with her feeling for Alec and who she was before she was taken and who she is now. Amiee is a very headstrong person and discovers who her true self is and what she needs to do protect those who love her and the man she truly loves. <br/><br/>I recommend this book because it is fast past, funny and Amiee is a woman that has a true heart to fight for what she is!!<br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13009889.Awaken_Me_A_Connected_Novel" title="Awaken Me A Connected Novel by Emily Gossett">Awaken Me: A Connected Novel</a><br />

<br/><br />
<br/><br />
<br/>I gave Saving Bobby and 4 outta of 5 stars because it is a story that I like and it was sweet and endering book. <br />
<br/><br />
<br/>Bobby is a 13 year old boy that doesnt have a lot of family and when his mother is sent the to the hospital all Bobby could think is why me? As a person that has lost her father and has lost many family and friends to cancer I knew what Bobby was feeling. Every where Bobby goes he is told by everyone that they will pray for his mom but for Bobby at this point he is questioning why his mom and not him. When one night at his Uncle Tony house Bobby gets it in his dead to find someone to save his mom since he thinks the doctors are not doing enough to save her. As Bobby sneaks out of Tony house one night and start his search to fine another hospital or doctor to help his mom he means Annie a girl he thinks might look familer to him but she is willing to help him find someone to help his mother. So with the help of Annie Bobby is on a mission to find someone and along the way Bobby meet people that help him to realize that he needs to put his faith in God and trust that God knows what he is doing. As a person that believes strongly in God I have always believe to put your problems in God and he will take care of it. It takes many people along the way to convince Bobby that he needs to do that. Reading Saving Bobby did make me cry & smile and the ending was sweet and I believe the true meaning of this story is when something bad happens that praying really does work and God is out there listening you just have to talk to him. <br />

Thank You Michelle for allowing me to be on your Blog Tour:<br />
<br />
This is a Q & A I did with Michelle<br />
<br />
<b>1} Where did you do your research on the “Secret Society”?</b><br />
I love the history of secret societies in the US. I’ve probably watched every single TV show about the Masons. Although I didn’t do specific research into any one society, I made sure to use symbols, legends, secrets, and underground lairs in the book.<br />
<br />
<b>2} How did you come up with the story of Seraphina?</b><br />
The ideas originally came from a conversation I had with my sister about Time Travel. For almost a year, I played with the story and characters in my head. It was just something I did for fun, as a creative outlet to my everyday life. <br />
<br />
<b>3} What do you think will be Seraphina most greatest strength?</b><br />
I like this question. Seraphina is very determined and focused. She tries very hard to be tough and put on a strong facade. Underneath, she is still very unsure about herself. I think she’s stronger than she realizes. She’s got a lot of insecurities that often lead her down the wrong road. She’s not perfect and often makes things worse for herself. She’s a great main character because she’s realistic and relatable.<br />
<br />
<b>4} What is your the one thing you have to have when you write?</b><br />
There were actually three things that were very important to me during the writing process: the internet, meditation time, and sleep. <br />
When I finally wrote this book, I was easily consumed by the internet, looking at location photos, or inspirational photos for scenes. The best way to make sure something reads real is to have great inspiration. <br />
Before writing, I would meditate on each scene to figure out the best way for each chapter to play out. Visualization was really important. When I was satisfied with the outcome, I’d rush to my computer and start typing.<br />
I mediated on the climax scene of the book for a few months and was never quite happy with it. Finally, one night I woke up at 3 am in the morning with everything in my head. I stayed up for hours writing out the final chapters in long hand. My husband thought I was crazy, but it worked. Several ideas came to me in my sleep. <br />
<br />
<b> 5} Best way to read paper or Ebook?</b><br />
I’m in transition. I read e-books on my Kindle right now but still purchase hard copies for my favorite novels. My bookshelf is so over-loaded, I have to be choosy about what hardback books I purchase.<br />

<br />
High school can be a battlefield, but for Lily Parker, surviving at St. Sophia’s School for Girls is a matter of life and death...<br />
<br />
Protecting Chicago from the dark side can be an exhausting job, especially when you’re a junior. So when the girls of St. Sophia’s start gearing up for Sneak, their fall formal, Lily decides to join in on some good, old-fashioned party prep—even if it means not giving demons, vampires and the twisted magic users known as Reapers her undivided attention.<br />
<br />
But when a Reaper infiltrates the school, Lily doesn’t forget what she’s sworn to protect. She reaches deep into herself to draw out her magic—and finds that it’s gone. And it turns out she’s not alone. A magical blackout has slammed through paranormal Chicago, and no one knows what—or who—caused it. But Lily knows getting back her magic is worth the risk of going behind enemy lines...<br />

<br/>**Review**<br />
<br/><br />
<br/>Wander Dust took me a while to get into only because my mind was on a different genre and I had to get into the mind set for this story. Once I sat down and started reading Wander Dust I could not put down and finshed the book in 2 days. I very much enjoyed and my heart went out to Sera to see a teen that is looking to her father Ray for the love she doesn't have and when all the weird things start to happen (not going to give out spoilers). Sera is sent to live with her Aunt Mona and starts to attend the same school her mom Eliza went to. For once Sera starts to finally feel excepted for who she is. When Sera start to search for answer to what is going on and why all the weird things are happening to her Sera answers start to realize that her new life is nothing like Sera dream off.<br />
<br/><br />
<br/> Sera is a very smart 16yr old and knows when something is not what it always seems to be she discovers she more special then anybody else. As a 16 year old Sera is trying to take in all the changes that have happened to her. With the help and love of her Aunt Mona & her team Sera start to search for answers to her questions to who she is what she is. Sera has to learn to start trusting her team and except her help to what happened to her mother and as her questions start being answered. I have alot of respect for Sera there is not alot of kids her age that have the values Sera has and she is forced to choose to save a member of her team or get the answers to what really happened to her mother. Wander Dust is sweet,sad and funny and exciting story that will keep you on your toes and when you start to think you know what is going something else happens. Michelle Warren has brought a different kind of Paranormal story that I have not seen for a while and it is refreshing to read a story that person whatever the age once they start reading it will not put it down. I am glad this is a trilogy because I will be anticipating the next story of Sera & Bishop. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4097828.Michelle_Warren" title="Michelle Warren">Michelle Warren</a><br />

<br/>***My Review***<br />
<br/><br />
<br/>DarkSpell...<br />
<br/><br />
<br/>I really liked the Story I have been so wrapped up in BD1 and reading my Twilights to get read for the night I had not been paying much attention to my other Paranormal stories and Darkspell did that for me. I had orginally read the first couple of chapters from the author's website and she generously allowed me to read the book for review. First all one thing I really loved about this book is the drawings in between chapters that gave the book a different feel that the other paranormal books don't have. Two I did read this book as a E-Book however I will be getting it as a paperbook just because of the drawing and also because I want my niece to read it I know she will love it so much. The Story of Winter and Alex is a wonderful innocent story of new love and step's a Winter is willing to take to keep that love. This wasn't even about a physical attraction more of emotional love that is sweet and pure and what falling in love with some should be about. I see Winnie as a strong girl that has lost her father at a young age and is the big sister in the family and instead of teens that can't stand their lil brothers she does get fustrated with them but loves them whole hartedly. This was one of those stories where you want peace and quiet just so you can read it with the drawing and also the wonderful writing of Elizabeth Mueller I could see in mind what is going on in the story and the end story was very good I was pretty suprised by it myself and was "Ok I didn't see that coming!". I don't want to give away any spoilers just because this is a book that you have read for yourself and enjoy Winter and Alex story. I cannot wait to see more stories from this author.<br />

Finding your eternal soulmate – easy.<br />
<br />
Stopping a true-love-hungry evil – not so much…<br />
<br />
After breaking a centuries-old romantic curse, Emma Connor is (almost) glad to get back to normal problems. Although…it’s not easy dealing with the jealous cliques and gossip that rule her exclusive Upper East Side prep, even for a seventeen-year-old newbie witch. Having the most-wanted boy in school as her eternal soul mate sure helps ease the pain-especially since wealthy, rocker-hot Brendan Salinger is very good at staying irresistibly close….<br />
<br />
But something dark and hungry is using Emma and Brendan’s deepest fears to reveal damaging secrets and destroy their trust in each other. And Emma’s crash course in über-spells may not be enough to keep them safe…or to stop an inhuman force bent on making their unsuspected power its own.<br />

<br/><br />
<br/>With her boss preoccupied researching the Founder Houses in Morganville, student Claire Danvers is left to her own devices when she learns that three vampires have vanished without a trace. She soon discovers that the last person seen with one of the missing vampires is someone new to town—a mysterious individual named Magnus. After an uneasy encounter with Morganville’s latest resident, Claire is certain Magnus isn’t merely human. But is he a vampire—or something else entirely?<br />
<br/><br />
<br/>This was a Goodreads Win and was so excited when I saw that I won the book this makes me love Goodreads even more. I have always seen The Morganville Series as Gilmore Girls Town Stars Hallow CT meets Morganville TX as Gilmore Girls is funny and the town folk as kind of well not all there. Morganville Residence are Funny & Scary. The minute I got the book in the mail I riped it open and started reading it and finshed it in 2 days. <br />
<br/><br />
<br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15292.Rachel_Caine" title="Rachel Caine">Rachel Caine</a>has once again did it again with a story that will make you laugh, giggle and yes this time cry. Normally when reading any Morganville Story I laugh so hard that people think I am crying when in fact it is me laughing so hard. The town of Morganville is up in arms about the marriage of Eve and Michael. There are those that are either for or against the marriage of Human and Vampire. However little does this town know that a marriage is least of their problems. When Amelie recieves a note from the satellite colony Blacke the life of Morganville is about to change and not for the better. Vampires are missing and a storm that has hit the town of Morganville has put the fear in the Town Founder and her secound in command Oliver. As Eve & Michael try to go on with the celebration of a marriage not everyone wants to see. Those who live in the Glass House their lives are about to change and by the looks of things not for the better. <br />
<br/><br />
<br/>Last Breath is book #11 in the Morganville Novels and Rachel Caine has announced there will be 3 more books add to the Series and if your a Morganville Fan you should be jumping up and down like I am.

*Waves* Hello Everyone <br />
<br />
Girl of Nightmares 2nd book in the Anna Dressed in Blood Series by Kendare Blake Realse Date 8/17/2012<br />
<br />
From the Goodreads.com <br />
<br />
In this follow-up to Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas begins seeing Anna everywhere: sometimes when he’s asleep, and sometimes in waking nightmares. But something is very wrong. These aren’t just daydreams. Anna seems tortured, torn apart in new and ever more gruesome ways every time she appears.<br />
<br />
Cas doesn’t know what happened to Anna when she disappeared into Hell, but he knows she doesn’t deserve whatever is happening to her now. Anna saved Cas more than once, and it’s time for him to return the favor.<br />
<br />
I really Loved the first book Anna Dressed in Blood and I am so excited to announced I have spoken with the Wonderful Kendare Blake and she let me know when this book will be release. It has not posted yet to amazon but it is already on Goodreads which I myself have marked it as to be purchased. If you want to learn more about Kendare go to her website <br />

I really enjoyed Hellbent and recommend it. While reading Hellbent I was reminded of the Chicagoland Vampire Books which are one of my favorite Books. What I liked about Raylene is that she is not only a vampire but she hasn't lost her humanity and will fight to protect the one she holds dear and since losing a alot she is very protective of them. Adrian is my favorite character in the book only because he can be any girls best girlfriend or boyfriend which ever way you see him. Since I didn't read the first book it took me while to get into it and when I did I liked it very much. The only thing that is different is that like most vampire books is the need for a vampire to have a ghoul that is something that is new in all the vampire books I have read and is something that makes the book alot more different and maybe better then the rest.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9842559.Hellbent_Cheshire_Red_Reports_2_" title="Hellbent (Cheshire Red Reports, #2) by Cherie Priest">Hellbent</a><br />

<br />
THE ISIS COLLAR - a Blood Singer Novel<br />
<br />
Cat Adams<br />
<br />
<br />
As if part-siren/part-vampire Celia Graves didn't have enough to worry about, now she must face a zombie plague! Adams takes creepy to a whole new level with this intense and enthralling adventure. Celia's relationships, romantic or not, continue to force her to grow in ways she never expected. UF doesn't get much better than this!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: A clairvoyant gives Celia a warning about a magical bomb set to explode at a local elementary school. A frustrated Celia can't get the principal to listen before the bomb explodes. At first the magical bomb doesn'tseem to do extensive damage, but then a persistent bruise on Celia's leg turns out to be the first signs of a deadly zombie plague. Who set the bomb and why? The dark and intricate magic is like no spell Celia or John Creede has seen before. Adding to Celia'sissues, her alcoholic mother has broken out of her siren prison, and then Creede disappears. As the virus spreads, Celia and her allies must uncover who is really behind this nightmare in order to stop it. (TOR, 384 pp., $14.99) Jill M. Smith<br />
<br />
Intriguing, huh...? For those who love Bruno, never fear! He also plays a starring role in this book.<br />

<br/>Anna Dressed in Blood was a very good read and I could not put it down and is very scarey book alot of other readers have said that Possess was a scarey book but I think this book was way more scarey and freaked me out for the first part of the story. That made me enjoy the book even more it is like going to a scarey movie and covering your eyes cause you don't wanna see but still open your fingers alittle bit just cause you can't help in still looking. The way Kendare Blake writes this book is very descriptive and detailed and Kendare has a way that opens your eyes to what is going on and when Cas first sees Anna was the best part for me and it kept me wanting to continue to read and not put it down but reading alone when it is quiet is the best way to get the most out of this story. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4086715.Kendare_Blake"><img src="http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1276645449p2/4086715.jpg" title="Kendare Blake" alt="Kendare Blake"/></a><br />

I have read reviews of Silence from other reviewers and even thou some did not agree with how Becca wrote this storyline I liked it only because it had been a while since I read Crescendo and needed to be reminded on what happened and like Nora I also felt a sense of memory loss and needed to remember what happened. The story starts with Nora waking up in the cememtry and is confused on how she got there and the change of the seasons. The first couple of chapters is Nora going to the hospital and going home and trying to rememeber everything that happened and is feeling so lost and confused since she was gone for 4 months and doesn't not know where she was and what lead her to disappear. Nora is smart to trust her gut since she feels like her mom along with her bestie Vee is hiding things from her and for once in ther life I think Nora doesn't trust Vee or her mom since Nora finds out her mom is dating Hank her arch enemy Marcie's father. Nora is a very strong person but I get from the story that she is feeling lost in a world that no longer includes her. This makes Nora more determined to find out what happened to her and struggles to get her memory back and figure out what happened once and for all. Nora dreams are also not helping since she is dreaming of Jev someone that helped her out of a sticky situation she got herself in after a horrible dinner with her mom and Hank. Nora is also getting help from Scott a Nephilim she grew up that she thought was just a kid she played with Scott is at least someone that is giving her answers as to what happend and little by little with the help of Scott Nora starts to uncover what really happened to her. Jev however is trying to play the "I am a bad guy don't trust me" persona. I don't wanna give away alot of details but. Silence was a wonderful read and I am "Team Patch" all the way even if you read Crescendo and remember what happened you will enjoy Silence I did and brings back all the love that Nora & Patch have for each other and ending will be for me it was a good suprise and makes me wanting to read the last book.. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2876763.Becca_Fitzpatrick"><img src="http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1239907607p2/2876763.jpg" title="Becca Fitzpatrick" alt="Becca Fitzpatrick"/></a><br />
